Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]

Boldenone, also known by the chemical name 1,4-androstadiene-3-one-17β-ol, has the molecular formula C19H26O2. It is a synthetic derivative of testosterone, with a similar androgenic potency. The compound is characterized by its double bond at the carbon 1 and 2 position, which significantly reduces its estrogenic activity.

Boldenone is primarily used in veterinary medicine, particularly in the treatment of horses. It is used to improve physique and performance. However, it is not approved for human use in many countries due to potential side effects and health risks.

The use of Boldenone, like other anabolic steroids, can lead to a number of health risks and side effects. These can include cardiovascular disease, liver damage, and endocrine disorders. In addition, the use of Boldenone can lead to psychological effects such as aggression and mood swings.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

In the United States, Boldenone is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This means that it is illegal to possess or distribute the drug without a valid prescription or license.
